Key Takeaways

“Imagine for a moment, if you could clearly show that investing an

additional $1M dollars in training, which will reduce the voluntary

turnover rate by 10%, will save $1.5M while simultaneously increasing

workforce productivity by 5%. For a company with $1B in annual

revenue, this would be worth up to $50M in ROI to the organization.”

Jeff HigginsCEO, Human Capital Management Institute

Does HR Strategy Matter?

Key TakeawaysAligning HR with the Company

Key Takeaways

The most important aspect to align HR functions to the greater business is through communications, particularly with numbers and data visualization.

• Excel sheets | Tableau | SQL | Six Sigma | Dashboards | KPIs

Using enterprise HCM software and automation tools to reduce the redundant tasks to free up time – from a financial perspective, that means reduced costs.

Understand what upgrades and capabilities your HR team needs and create a plan that effectively shows beneficial outcomes.

• Operational efficiency | Achieving business strategy

Align HR and Finance

Key Takeaways

• Perform a gap analysis

• Identify the skills needed to deliver effective and efficient services

• Identify the tools, processes, and infrastructure to help HR with their

goals

• Create processes and a culture for operational improvement

• Cross-train employees – Rotate a finance analyst in HR and move an

HR specialist in Compliance

Upgrade HR Capabilities

Key Takeawas

• Job rotation is an HR and business strategy to provide benefits to both the

company and the employee.

• Cross-functional employees are able to use the knowledge of other roles

to improve the department/unit, both from business strategy integration

and team culture perspective.

Cross-Functional and Rotation Roles

Key Takeaways

• Using HRM helps achieve your goals and objectives.

• Reduces human resources administration time.

• Data accurate and easy to see.

• Some examples:

• Workday | ClearCompany

Human Resource Management (HRM)

HR Service Delivery Framework

• Workforce productivity = revenue per employee / profit per employee

• Compare to your industry

• New hire turnover rate

• Promotion rates

• What are other KPIs that would be useful to track and present to

management in an effort to increase transparency?

Key Performance Indicators to Finance

KPI Dashboard

• Having the ability to present data with a story speaks volumes to the

business because it starts a conversation about what things are not

going well, how to make improvements, and the best ways to track

development of issues facing the company.

• Market trends show the newest workforce doesn't stay at just one job

over their lifetime, so it's important to discover what makes employees

stay longer and be more satisfied and motivated by their jobs. The cost

of employee turnover is large. Instead of just storytelling, show it with

numbers.

Connecting the Dots from HR to Finance

Communication Loop

Communicate, communicate, communicate!

Best practice is to communicate at least once a month with the business.

• Accomplishments (Success stories)

• KPIs (How are things progressing)

• Overall news that can keep people outside HR updated and in mind
